Dr Neeraj Nischal who is a leading health expert in the country said people should be careful for the next one to two years, and do not give a chance to the Covid-19 to explode again. As India is heading towards the festive season, he also said that ripples of the second wave can still be seen.
In an interview with news agency ANI, Dr Nischal said, “Idea of festivals is to share happiness, not Covid. For next 1-2 years, till the pandemic is not under control, we shouldn’t become part of the reason for causing the pandemic to explode again,”
His warning came after health experts told people to maintain all the Covid protocols for the next 125 crucial days to minimise the effect of the infection. Alerts have been extended from overcrowded public places to religious gatherings which experts say can emerge as epicentres, if not restricted.
Dr VK Paul said that India has not reached the stage of herd immunity as of now. He also added that it does not want to acquire herd immunity through infections either.
